Sharyland ISD outlines Teacher Incentive Allotment expansion and projection; district shows preliminary $2.2M surplus
Summary
District finance staff projected 2025‑26 general fund revenue of about $107 million, payroll about $85.8 million and an operating surplus near $2.2 million on a preliminary base plan; staff said teacher incentive allotment expansion is underway and that employee compensation increases remain a top priority.
Finance staff at a Sharyland ISD budget workshop said preliminary revenue projections for fiscal 2025‑26 total roughly $107 million using current law and preliminary certified values, with payroll and benefits around $85.8 million and operating expenditures near $19 million, leaving a preliminary surplus of about $2.2 million on a base plan that does not include new compensation.
Pam (curriculum/assessment staff) and Jaime (finance) described the district’s work on the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA). They said the district is in a “data capture” year for certain teachers and that 88 teachers this year were coded as eligible teaching assignments under state growth tables. The district would front the payments and be settled by the state in September; staff said the district would know final designations by April and payment timing would follow state settlement cycles.
Administrators said they are working to expand TIA eligibility so that, by the end of the 2027‑28 cycle, every district teacher could be eligible. The presentation noted the district would initially cover upfront TIA payout obligations and that 90% of TIA funds go to campus teachers while 10% remains at the district for program support. Staff said an increase of 2% in employee compensation would cost the district roughly $1.4 million and would reduce the available surplus.
Board members asked for itemized spreadsheets showing which initiatives require additional funding beyond positions already in budget; staff said they would provide that detail. No final personnel compensation decisions were made at the workshop.
